* plugin question after update to FH 7

[BillH]

I just updated to FH 7 and am working through getting everything set up. I am now working on my plugins. I am seeing some things in my plugin list in Tools > Plugins that were not there in FH 6. They are

• ltn12
• luasql
• md5
• pl
• socket

When I look in C:\ProgramData\Calico Pie\Family Historian\Plugins I see folders called

• luasql
• md5
• mime
• pl
• socket

and files called

• ltn12.lua
• md5.lua
• mime.lua
• socket.lua
• zip.dll

If these were there in FH 6 they didn't show up in the list of plugins in Tools > Plugins.

Do I need these 7 folders and files or can they be safely deleted? They are causing the Check Installed Plugins Against the Store to get errors like the following.

You can get rid of those files -- in FH7 they're in a different place: C:\Program Files (x86)\Family Historian\Program\Lua.

If you're interested, Heads up for plugin authors in V7 (18787) is relevant.

Helen,

Thanks for the info and the link. I did a search in the forums as I thought I had read something about this along the way, but I didn't search for the right things.
